Frag Tanks
 
I'm wanting to do a larger frag tank. I was curious if anybody has found any containers that work well. I'd love to have https://pentairaes.com/fiberglass-tanks-value-buy.html but the shipping would quickly become prohibitive.

I'd like to have at least 12" depth.

I personally like the 50 gallon rubbermaid stock tanks (they make larger sizes, but the 50gal is the only shallow one). I've had a few of them before and they were great. Looking to buy another.
They are also cheap and available at my local farm supply store. :)
Many reefers use them.

+1 on rubbermaid...no reason to spend a ton of money on something so simple.

If you go to a tractor supply you will not have to pay shipping they have another brand aside from Rubbermaid I think it's $69 for a hundred gallon I think the Rubbermaid is $89 for a hundred gallon the other brand might be tough stuff the only issue I see is that they have a metal drain which I would personally replace the Rubbermaid one I have heard tend to crack...

You might want to check out your local hydroponic store, as they often have shallow bins.
